成人學(xué)位英語(yǔ)考試復(fù)習(xí)資料，供各位考生參考。備考資料及試題不斷更新中，請(qǐng)考生密切關(guān)注。
1.In many ways the Internet has had a very positive effect on society. It has improved communication, simplifiod handling tasks, offered a huge convenience, enabled faster processing, and pro-vided mote options, all of which frees more time to do other things. Yet, interestingly enough, the Internet has in some ways had negative effects. The quality of communication has declined and people are i .inpatient because they have become accustomed to instant satisfaction, and using the Internet also takes up a lot of time.
答案：因特網(wǎng)已經(jīng)在許多方面對(duì)社會(huì)產(chǎn)生了非常積極的影響。它改善了溝通方式，簡(jiǎn)化了任務(wù)處理，提供了巨大的便利，使工藝過(guò)程更快速，提供了更多的選擇，這一切讓人們有更多自由的時(shí)間做其他事情。但有趣的是，因特網(wǎng)在某些方面產(chǎn)生了消極的影響。人們已經(jīng)習(xí)慣了要求得到快速的滿足，因此溝通質(zhì)量下降，人們變得沒(méi)有耐心，除此之外，使用因特網(wǎng)也占用了大量時(shí)間。
2.Economic development depends on the extraction of natural resources and on low-skilled labor, which has resulted in a weak manufacturing base and uneven distribution of wealth. Agriculture still accounts fol the major share of rural household income and employs over 60 percent of Africa' s labor force, particularly women. Low agricultural productivity continues to threaten food security in Africa as a whole. Africa needs a green, clean industrialization that leapfrogs outdated, polluting processes and platforms and benefits from new technologies. Inclusive and sustainable industrialization is a key stepping stone towards sustained economic growth, food security and poverty eradication in Africa.
答案：經(jīng)濟(jì)的發(fā)展往往有賴于自然資源的開(kāi)采以及低技能勞動(dòng)力，這就導(dǎo)致制造業(yè)基礎(chǔ)薄弱和財(cái)富分配不均。農(nóng)業(yè)仍是農(nóng)村家庭的主要收入來(lái)源，其占據(jù)了非洲60%以上的勞動(dòng)力，尤其是為婦女勞動(dòng)力提供了就業(yè)。農(nóng)業(yè)生產(chǎn)力低下對(duì)整個(gè)非洲的糧食安全仍然存在威脅。非洲需要綠色、清潔的工業(yè)化，所以要越過(guò)造成污染的老式工藝階段并受益于新技術(shù)。對(duì)非洲而言，包容性和可持續(xù)的工業(yè)化是邁向持續(xù)經(jīng)濟(jì)增長(zhǎng)、糧食安全和消除貧窮的一個(gè)關(guān)鍵臺(tái)階。
3.Those who gain fame most often gain it as a result of possessing a single talent or skill: singing, dancing, painting, or writing, etc. The successful performer develops a style that is marketed aggressively and gains some popularity. And it is this popularity that usually convinces the performer to continue performing in the same style, since that is what the public seems to want and to en-joy. But in time, the performer becomes .bored singing the same songs in the same way year after year, or the painter becomes bored painting similar scenes or portraits, or the actor is tired of playing the same character repeatedly.
答案：在已經(jīng)出了名的人們中間，絕大多數(shù)是因有一技之長(zhǎng)，如唱歌、舞蹈、繪畫(huà)、寫(xiě)作等，而獲此聲譽(yù)的。這位成功的表演者展示出一種在市場(chǎng)上可以爭(zhēng)雄制勝的風(fēng)格，因而獲得聲譽(yù)。而且也就是這種聲譽(yù)常使表演者確信必須把這種風(fēng)格堅(jiān)持下去，因?yàn)榭磥?lái)這正是大眾所需要和喜愛(ài)的。可是隨著時(shí)間轉(zhuǎn)移，歌手年復(fù)一年地依老調(diào)唱老歌，畫(huà)師畫(huà)同樣的風(fēng)景人物，演員反復(fù)重演同一角色，都會(huì)感到厭煩。
4.The theme of the International Literacy Day this year is the connection between literacy and sustainable development. Literacy helps reduce poverty and enables people to find jobs and obtain higher salaries. It is one of the most efficient ways of improving the health of mothers and children, understanding doctors' prescriptions and gaining access to healthcare. The lives of more than two million children under the age of five were saved between 1990 and 2009 thanks to improve- merits in the education of women of reproductive age. Literacy facilitates access to knowledge and triggers a process of empowerment and self-esteem that benefits everyone.
答案：國(guó)際掃盲日今年的主題是掃盲與可持續(xù)發(fā)展的聯(lián)系。掃盲可以減貧、謀職、提薪。它是改善母子健康、看懂醫(yī)生處方或得到治療的最有效途徑之一。由于在育齡婦女教育方面取得的進(jìn)步，1990至2009年間有200多萬(wàn)5歲以下的兒童得以生命安康。掃盲利于獲得知識(shí)，培養(yǎng)自立和自信，使所有人受益。
